Tao ,!ausoleun at Frocmore.

The mausoleum at Frogmore i built on
very low ground, and suffers much from
damp. The magnificent internal decora-
tons would have long ago been spoiled il
large fires were not constantly kept burn
ing The queen obtained the original idea
for this structure from the Greek chapel
On the NeroberC, below Wiesbaden, in
which the first wife Of the present Duke
of Nassau Is buried. She was the Grand
Duchess Elizabeth Snchaeioyna Of Rus
STA, and died in 1914. in her 10Th year,
eleven months after her marriage. Her
monument is a splendid piece Of sculpture,
and, as at Frogmore. there Is recum-
bent figure on the sarcophagus. This is
the most sumptuous tomb in Germany.
The queen caused q crypt to be formed
under the mausoleum, desiring that all
her children should be buried in it, and
there are nine inches; but Princess Alice

Scene During the Coal Strike.


Our way led through the car yards that
have taken possession of the whole Of the
old point, where the first ferry from New
Amsterdam TO Jersey used to land you, in
the days when Peter Stuyvesant ruled
Manhattan island for the Dutch West In
dia company. 1t was heavy day. The
clouds hung low and gloomy, and sharp
wind pierced the stoutest oyercoat. Banks
of fog hung in and out over the car tracks,
from the bay, and trains rushed out Of
them with sudden and dreadful uneXpect-
edness. 1t was q dangerous trip TO make
on foot with q clear head and nothing to
do but look out for the locomotive.
But the tangle of tracks fairly swarmed
with women and children, plodding to and
fro, bent double over the icy ground.
Each carried basket Of some sort and
cast into it Jumps of coal dropped from
the fire pans Of the engines. They were
miserably clad and dripping wet. They
Rugged themselves shudderingly rs they
crawled about, and the trains came and
went with furious roarincs and funeral
clangings Of bells. l am happy to remem-
Der that the bells rang no requiem for
these pitiful cleaners OF a stony harvest
while our journey lasted.
When we came back to New York and
strolled up along the wharves we con-
stantly met men and women and boys and
girls burdened with bundles of waste wood
and rotten timber picked up on the piers
or fished out Of the docks. At several
places where buildings were torn down
they grubbed and fought for plaster
patched laths and broken planks and
beams among the ruins OF the tumbling
walls
Little children staggered under burdens
heavier than themselves, and wan women
and haggard men went hating on with
ponderous loads, destined to feed the
meager family fire and cook the scanty
meal-Alfred Trumble in New York
